It was a gust of sinister wind, roaring out from the hall that had been mostly shattered by thunder.
"Spiritual eyes, open!"
A flash of light flashed in Lin Ji's eyes, and then he saw a scene he would never forget.
Half of the Buddha statue collapsed, but underneath the Buddha statue, it was actually empty.
It was a dungeon, but it didn't contain people.
In other words, not a living person.
Lin Ji took two quick steps and came to the top of the dungeon, lowering his head and looking down.
He felt the ghost energy rising into the sky, which was much stronger than the ghost land in Liangcheng that he had experienced before.
In just a moment, he felt cold all over his body, and frost began to appear on the tips of his eyebrows and hair.
The ones used in the dungeon are not chains, but some kind of magic weapon made of bones.
These magical instruments imprisoned one ghost after another, and these ghosts howled and whined in pain.
In the place where they were imprisoned, there were still corpses that had not yet decayed and seemed to have been dead for a short time. Some were intact, while others had severed limbs.
There are no snakes, insects, rats or ants in the dungeon.
Because they simply cannot survive in a place with such strong ghost energy.
"Is this soul refining? Or something else?" Lin Ji couldn't understand, but that didn't stop him from seeing the boundless pain experienced by the ghosts trapped here.
But soon, Lin Ji discovered that his previous judgment was not correct.
"They are not ghosts, they are not even ghosts, not even ghost soldiers."
He took a deep breath of cold air and felt the cold air instantly spread to his limbs and bones, making him feel chilled all over.
"They are the souls of people who have just died. The souls of people were captured and imprisoned here right after they died."
"This is soul refining!"
Suddenly, Lin Ji turned his head and looked at the remaining half of the Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue was actually bleeding.
He took half a step closer and saw clearly that the Buddha statue was hollow and actually filled with flesh and blood.
Moreover, the flesh and blood didn't even have a strange smell at all. It was obviously filled in not long ago.
"The tantric sect kills people just to fill the Buddha statue? And then refining the soul under the Buddha statue? What's the purpose of this?"
Lin Ji couldn't understand.
He unfolded his consciousness to explore the surrounding area, trying to see if there was anything else wrong.
Soon, he discovered that there seemed to be something hidden in the flesh and blood of the Buddha statue.
Holding back the discomfort, Lin Ji used the edge of his sword to cut away the flesh and blood, and found a small jar.
A small jar the size of a head, with incomprehensible curse patterns carved on the mouth of the jar.
"Put it down." The blind old monk's voice suddenly sounded behind Lin Ji.
Lin Ji turned around and found that for some reason, the old monk no longer had the same power as before.
He became skinny, his face was pale, and his lips were chapped.
How long has it passed?
"What's wrong with you?" Lin Ji frowned slightly, looked at everything around him, and then asked, "Is your steel frame because of this Buddha statue?"
"Put that jar down!" the old monk said reluctantly.
Seeing that Lin Ji refused to listen, there was a bit of despair in his eyes.
"How dare you, how dare you destroy the Bodhisattva statue? The Bodhisattva will punish you, and none of us will survive!"
Hearing this, Lin Ji's expression froze.
He looked deeply at the old monk and asked, "So you just ran away regardless, because you thought I didn't dare to destroy this Buddha statue?"
The old monk didn't speak, but his expression already gave the answer.
Lin Ji let out a long sigh of relief.
What is this? Brainwashed to the point of terminal illness?
"Your Bodhisattva cannot kill me."
The old monk was extremely excited.
"You don't understand Bodhisattva at all! It is the root of all good and evil in the world. If you have good or evil, you will be seen by Bodhisattva."
"It watches everything all the time, and anyone who is disrespectful will be punished."
"I...I don't want to go to hell, I don't want to go to hell."
While shouting like crazy, the old monk ran away like a headless fly and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Ji didn't pursue him either. He could see that the old monk had lost his mind and gone crazy.
"Are all tantric monks like this? Bodhisattva has become everything to them? Just a Buddha statue made him crazy to this point."
Thinking of this, Lin Ji shuddered for no reason.
"These people have gone crazy. If the Bodhisattva was really as they said, I would not be standing here intact now."
There was a bit of ridicule in Lin Ji's eyes.
If the Bodhisattva is really so powerful, how dare the Supervisor Tiansi take action against Weizhou and subvert Tantric Buddhism?
It's just that even if you think about it, these Tantric monks won't believe it.
They are just like the people of Victoria.
It's all hopeless.
Lin Ji looked at the jar in his hand again. He didn't dare to open it. Although he was curious, he was not so curious that he would die.
Throw the jar into the Qiankun in your sleeves.
Then Lin Ji quickly left the main hall, then jumped into the air. After a little bit of direction, he saw the side hall not far away on the left.
After arriving at the side hall, Lin Ji walked directly in.
I didn’t see anyone blocking me along the way, but the fight was fierce at the front of Lanye Temple.
Lin Ji saw at a glance the half-human-tall Buddha statue placed in the side hall.
This is the purpose of his trip.
When he arrived, Tian Guosheng sent a message to him, telling him that the Buddha statue was a top priority and he must bring it back intact.
For this reason, it doesn't matter even if a few people traveling with him die.
So Lin Ji knew very well from the beginning that Li Dalong, Murong Ge and others were only here to fend off some trouble-making bait for him.
Whenever there was any chance that the Buddha statue in front of him might be damaged, he would abandon Li Dalong and others without hesitation and take the Buddha statue back.
"So what is hidden in this Buddha statue?" Lin Ji was curious, but did not want to explore.
Fortunately, he has something up his sleeve. If he were to carry it back, it would be a lot of trouble.
With a wave of one hand, he opened the universe in his sleeve and stuffed the Buddha statue inside.
The little space in Qiankun's sleeves has been filled to the brim.
"Oh, I have gained a lot from this, so my trip is worthwhile."
Just as Lin Ji was about to leave, he was suddenly shocked and stopped abruptly.
An inexplicable fear arose in his heart, as if some danger was about to happen.
"what happened?"
"lay down!"
At the same time, the voice came from his heart.
The soul in Lin Ji's mind suddenly opened its eyes, and then he saw a virtual image with a green face, fangs, and six ferocious arms.
"Lin Ji! Put down the Buddha statue!"
The moment he saw the phantom of Alaya in his mind, Lin Ji almost stopped breathing.
But then, when he forced himself to calm down, he realized something was wrong.
"Alaya Bodhisattva? How did you break into my mind?" Lin Ji asked.
Alaya didn't know what to answer, and still said indifferently: "Put down the Buddha statue."
"You have the ability to capture me from Xiangzhou to Weizhou, but you don't have the ability to take the Buddha statue away from me?" Lin Ji smiled.
